(36,988 posts)I have noted many times how he said it was up to the states and the states have the right for medical MJ before his election.
But his DEA is going gang busters on medical MJ in fact Colorado is now on his shit list.
Although Colorado has legalized medical marijuana, those who distribute the drug still risk running afoul of federal law. The Obama administrations Department of Justice has made a practice of not prosecuting medical marijuana patients in states where the drug has been approved, but it still considers distributors to be fair game for arrest.
In January, U.S. Attorney John Walsh sent letters to 23 medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado, warning them that they faced legal repercussions if they did not close down within 45 days.
He needs to change MJ from a schedule I drug like President Carter Advocated to Congress .
